Active Region 11748 launches another big coronal mass ejection (CME) into the solar system along with X-class flares. See CMEpalooza - May 14, 2013 for the previous event.

This is the forecast trajectory from the Community-Coordinated Modeling Center of the CME through the inner solar system.

This movie shows the forecast trajectory of the CME launched from AR 11748 through the solar system.

This color table represents how displaying each of the three variables as separate red, green, and blue color ramps combine to identify characteristics in the solar wind and CME.
